Maryland teacher Keishia Thorpe, winner of Global Teacher Prize, inspires many
Fox News
During Black History Month in February 2022, Fox News' Kevin Corke spoke to Keishia Thorpe of Maryland, who won the Global Teacher Prize in November 2021.
The $1 million honor is awarded annually to an educator who has made an outstanding contribution to the classroom. "When you grow up in poverty and you make it out, you have an obligation to give back."
"It was amazing. It was such a proud moment for me," said Thorpe, who teaches at the International High School at Langley Park, Maryland, in suburban Washington, D.C.
Thorpe has pledged to use the money to expand educational opportunities for students all over the globe. And although she admits that the winning moment itself seemed to play out in slow motion, that’s actually in sharp contrast to her very busy life, which tends to move at the speed of a hummingbird's wings.
